clicking on the launcher after a "show desktop" should not undo the "show desktop" effect

[Bazon]

steps to reproduce:
1. open a couple of windows.
2. use "show desktop" (e.g. by CTRL+ALT+d)) - all windows minimize (OK)
3. hit a symbol matching to a window on the launcher.
expected behaviour: only the selected window unminimizes, other windows stay minimized
observed behaviour: ALL windows unminimize. (that's bad if you use the "show desktop" option to clean up your view.)
4. try to minimize a unfocused window by hitting its minimize button
expected behaviour: the unfocused background window minimizes
observed behaviour: nothing happens, the window doesn't even get focus.

This bug is really annoying ...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report, requesting design feedback on that, the current behaviour is somewant wanted, "show desktop" is not a "minimize all", it's just a temporary action to show your desktop view

[ktalinu (ktalinu)]

Workaround:
- sudo apt-get install devilspie
- save this script "(begin(minimize)(quit))" in a file "minimize.ds". You can put this file in home directory.
- Add new keyboard shortcut for command "devilspie minimize.ds";
